Schumachers was refering to my project using a 440" w/ shorties. They are drop ins with a 4 spd. Don't make sml blk shorties.

Hedman's 360 sml blk needed no lifting of the engine to mount. The hedmen small block shorties, can be filed under pretty easy. Driver's side?

What was the problem?

I have full lengths on their now. Over the shorties, I really didn't build it enough to take full advantage of them. I can say there is no perciveable difference between full lenth and shorties in my 323".
